Create genomic (one-of-a-kind) jewelry displaying your own DNA!

Take part in Leeward Five-0 by collecting and analyzing evidence in a forensic adventure and capturing the perpetrator of a dastardly crime!

Play in quicksand goo!

Get a close-up look and feel of the creepy, crawly insect world of Bug City.

Weed & Seed Hawaii will have a number of federal, state, and local law enforcement exhibits on display including Keiki and Kupuna IDs, presentations on the latest trends in substance abuse, and ways to protect your personal property. Also on hand will be the popular K-9 unit showcasing its talented dogs trained to sniff out drugs and capture criminals.

“This unique partnership between Leeward Community College and Weed & Seed Hawaii is wonderful, as we work together to make education fun for the youth and their families,” said Manny Cabral, Chancellor of Leeward Community College.

“We appreciate this tremendous opportunity to partner with Leeward Community College,” said Maile Kanemaru, Director of Weed & Seed Hawaii. “Bringing awareness to Weed & Seed Hawaii is critical as we continue to ’weed‘ out crime and ’seed‘ positive programs in our communities.”
